Technically it was 40 hours and some minutes. He gets out 2:51 which displays a little after 40 hours.

Read the article….i guess this whole experience ruied his life. Lost his job, appartment and his money. He tried suing the building but i guess got very little in the settlement. What a bad day.

He was on an express elevator. There are no doors from the lobby to the 30th floor. Basically he opened the door to concrete.
